OS: All
Status: NEW

Classification: Unclassified
Mobile Platform: ---
There is a conspicuous absence of information about anonymous editing. I'm
very happy that my 3rd-party wiki renders nicely on a mobile browser, but I use
htaccess protection, so anon editing is kosher for my purposes.
It would be helpful to prominently link to the rationale for disabling mobile
anonymous edits, from the Extension page and stuff. It it a fear of decreased
effectiveness of CheckUser techniques? Admins need to know in order to make an
informed decision about whether to enable $wgMFAnonymousEditing, or to wait for
some technical improvement. If there is no information yet, please state that
explicitly.
Please do not see bug 53076 :p
